As they’ve successfully done in the past, actors Brad Pitt and George Clooney will be hosting a charity dinner tomorrow night in Venice, Italy to help raise money for their Darfur relief org, Not On Our Watch.

The pair are in town for the Venice Film Festival. Their new flick, Burn After Reading, is opening the festivities on Wednesday.

And speaking of Pitt, a positive editorial on all his Make It Right foundation has been doing for New Orleans has popped up online. Here’s a brief snippet from the piece,

“What sets efforts like Make It Right apart is that its organizers trusted the initiative and judgment of individual residents. They also seem to understand that the project’s purpose is not the self-preservation of the foundation but to help homeowners get back into their homes. That’s a customer-oriented attitude that many government entities and officials still need to master.”
